While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday and the most delicious finds on TV.

It’s a breakfast! It’s a dessert! It’s National Oatmeal Month!

Lauded for its cholesterol-fighting abilities, oatmeal often takes the backseat to more exciting cookies (chocolate chip, sugar and peanut butter, for example) - but here’s the thing about an oatmeal cookie: it’s sweet and chewy, yet wholesome and filling. Gail Dosik of One Tough Cookie, Inc. even recommends bringing a batch of the whole-grain treat home with you when you’re introducing “the one” to your parents.

Anytime oatmeal is mentioned, i treminds me of a co-worker with whom I shared an office many years ago. Her daughter had been sick and I asked how she was doing. Her mom said "Well, she ate some oatmeal this morning, but then she threw it up", to which I responded "How could you tell?"

In Denver, we had a marketing campaign running for the last two weeks, and it was unveiled today. Turns out that McDonald's is now selling oatmeal with fruit. Looks like some that was eaten and lost...

My last job I worked for 4 years, the office was predominately women And every day, every last one of them would eat oatmeal for breakfast. Good god, the smell.
